4th of July



On the 4th of July we really wanted to go to a parade but the night before Ben and I got woken up at least 4 times by 2 different kids. So we did not make it to a parade. We had a pancake breakfast. Then we thought it would be fun to go to the Festival in Boulder City. We went and had snowcones ( whats the 4th without snowcones?) and the kids played for a little while and then we went home. All the kids feel asleep so we went for a drive and we saw Lake Las Vegas which I have never seen before. It was so pretty there. Chanse woke up and saw the lake. He really liked it. If I remember correctly all the kids woke up and saw the lake. They loved it. We then went home and we had a BBQ. And then of course some ice cram. Yummy. When it was dark we went and sat on our balcony and saw all the fireworks going off all over the Las Vegas Valley. We can see the whole valley from our balcony. We were hoping to be able to see a firework show from a nearby casino from our balcony but we had to go to the front yard. Chanse loved the fireworks. Sterling was so scared of the fireworks that I think I still have bruises from her squeezing and pinching me. Hero was not a big fan either. But Chanse and I sat in the front yard and watched the firework show. It was so great that we didn't have to go anywhere to see fireworks. We had a pretty fun 4th. The kids were upset about no parade. Hopefully next year we will get some sleep then we can be up and ready for a parade.

Icecream is a must on the 4th! The icecream cone faces are pretty cute, too:)
